The Services offered in this Industry are Infinate
However, the people who offer & preform these treatments are infinite. There are 500000000000 hairstylists, estheticians, Injection specialists, Makeup Artists, Doctors, Surgeons, Laser technicians, Tattoo artists, and more. All, at the consumers disposal. You get to pick, consult and choose. What happens when the seemingly fairytale experience portrayed on your penny pinching GROUPON turns out to be a BIG FAIL?
What happens when your BIG SPENDING LEAP turns OUT TO BE A TOTAL BUST!?
“The reviews were great- but I dont think it worked, I spent 10k, My lips look like chowder, My skin is fucked sideways, My tattoo is embarrassing, my titties look east … then west, my hair looks ‘skunky’, my eyelashes look like shit, my nails look thick as fuck, my makeup makes me look like a hooker …. etc.”
IT DIDNT WORK,
There are wavers to protect both you and the service provider. But it takes a TON of trust to sign the papers and go through with the treatment.
The entire intention behind this Blog is due to the fact that I am the biggest, most apprehensive, non-trusting client you could ever come across.
I do my own laser, Makeup, Skincare, hair extensions, hair dye, haircut, feet and more.
The injectables, Tattoos, nails and certain miscellaneous medical treatments are all done by the individuals I have come across and stuck with for exponential amounts of time.
So it got me thinking
How the fuck do you randomly look up a technician, and give them your money, on the HOPE
THE PUREST HOPE, that this may or may not work?
There are many ways to conduct your research, what with all the fine people who have plenty of time to write both Yelp and Google reviews and so on. But to physically show up and give someone your hard earned money or swipe of the ol credit card with little to no Guarantee, thats ballsy.
As a professional Esthetician & medical esthetician for almost a decade now, I have seen and heard some insane horror stories, and work done on people which makes my skin crawl.
Personal favorites include the Groupon massage, held in a run down double wide, while the oh-so-soothing sounds of death metal blared in the background among the drug deals being made in the living area,
Students at a local esthetics academy dipping feet into an
” experimental chemical peel for feet”
and ending up with severe burns and furthermore, existential leg pain.
Or the ever popular lady who paid $75 to have a new set of eyebrows tattooed in China Town, and ended up with a McDonalds type arch tattooed in the middle of her forehead, a good half inch above her natural brow.
You never know what the outcome is going to be, and research doesn’t always let you have the full story. Personally I believe in
THOROUGH CONSULTATIONS
However, I dont believe in consultation fees, 9/10 times the fee is going directly to a medical director. So if you come in and pay $150 to have a nice little chat about the procedure and do or do not decide to go through with it, that money is still gone like the wind. Awesome.
A consultation should take a decent amount of time, with all angles covered, all questions answered and should conclude with you feeling better about the treatment, clinic and technician. Make sure your waiver isn’t a piece of shit and covers all angles as well.
From a person on the other side trying to preform your service to the best of my ability, also be aware that in some cases, things just possibly wont work, not everything is guaranteed, ever. It is not always the technician, artist or doctors fault either.
All I’m really saying is look out for yourself and choose what is best for you. Be aware that a pretty website, business card and face, dont necessarily mean there’s a top shelf education behind it. Be aware of trends that pop up quickly and be sure to see them preformed plenty of times before you jump in.
And Most of all,
Thank YOU
to all the beautiful people I have had the pleasure of lasering, tattooing, removing fat, tightening skin, removing scars, preforming IPL, doing basic esthetics, whitening teeth, Hydrafacials, skin analysis sessions and treatment, and most importantly Vaginal rejuvenation. Trusting me with your Vaginas has been an incredibly humbling experience.
